CrowdStrike offers a $10 apology gift card to say sorry for outage | TechCrunch

Several people who received the CrowdStrike offer found that the gift card didn't work, while others got an error saying the voucher had been canceled.

This is very misleading!

CrowdStrike did not send gift cards to customers or clients. We did send these to our teammates and partners who have been helping customers through this situation. Uber flagged it as fraud because of high usage rates.

OK. That makes a lot more sense.

Thank you for correcting the original post. 👍

I mean, it makes it a little better, but I’d still be annoyed by it just being 10 bucks.

They might as well not do it. I’d be more insulted than a boss throwing a pizza party

Seriously, ten bucks won’t even cover delivery costs and fees for most things on Uber Eats. It’s almost worse than nothing, because with the gift card you’re obligated to give even more money to Uber Eats

Oh yeah for sure, I wonder if the thinking was “we’re about to lose a bunch of money, maybe limit it a little” 😂

Nice gesture I guess, but kinda just the modern day pizza party
